“Ancestors Said” conveys a profound message: Our ancestors are not mere memories of the past; they live through us. “Ancestors said they experience life through your eyes. Living your life as full as you can nourishes them. You being alive is enough for them.”

Ehime Ora’s writing exudes a sense of spirituality and a deep connection with the past, making the book a spiritual guidebook for readers seeking solace and healing.
